At Kochi Beer Laboratory in Kochi, Ichiban Shibori and 6 Other Beers Are on Tap; No New Taps Next Week
Kochi Beer Laboratory in Otesuji, Kochi City, updated its tap lineup on May 13. Currently, Ichiban Shibori is on tap along with Appo, Pineapple Coconut, Amber, Dry Hoppy, and Juicy Hoppy, and the shop says it will be closed from May 16 to 19.
Hop BroKochi Beer Laboratory in Kochi has updated its tap status. Right now, Ichiban Shibori is joined by Appo, Pineapple Coconut, Amber, Dry Hoppy, and Juicy Hoppy.
MugiWhoa! Six beers on tap and every name sounds delicious! Pineapple Coconut sounds like a tropical party already!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. Kochi Beer Laboratory is a beer pub in 55 Ban-gai that does a great job of letting people know how each keg is moving that day. It's a very practical kind of place.
MugiSo by practical, you mean whether I can drink it today matters more than flashy presentation? Honestly, that's the trustworthy kind. Easy choice!
Hop BroExactly. And in the May 13 update, they also said it would be regular business, opening at 16:00, so they're pretty considerate to drinkers.
MugiNice! That means I could slip in after work. And if Ichiban Shibori is there, the first pint already feels reassuring!
Hop BroAnd the upcoming candidates are pretty interesting too. They reportedly have a slightly smoky IPA, a gulpable pub ale, an 8th-anniversary 8.0% IPA, and even a sake-yeast IPA waiting in the wings.
MugiWhat is that! A smoky IPA sounds like something you'd drink next to a campfire! And a sake-yeast IPA too? There's too much information!
Hop BroWith IPA, the hop aroma and bitterness take center stage, and if it's smoky, you get a little toasted character on top. When you hear full-on hop character, it basically makes your mouth wait for beer.
MugiSo it's not just about bitterness! Then Juicy Hoppy sounds fruitier and probably easier to drink!
Hop BroThat's a good read. And since they're closed from May 16 to 19, they aren't opening any new kegs this week, so this is basically a week to enjoy what's already on tap.
MugiThen before the next closure, I want to go and enjoy the night before the tap rotation! Let's check what's pouring today and have a toast together!
